Great Stirrup Cay

Great Stirrup Cay is a small island that is part of the Berry Islands in the Bahamas. Norwegian Cruise Line purchased the island from the Belcher Oil Company in 1977 and developed it into a private island for their cruise ship passengers. The northern part of the island has a sandy beach surrounded by rocks with snorkeling areas. The southern part features a helicopter airfield (with a sign reading "Great Stirrup Cay International Airport"), a large area without vegetation, and numerous concrete blocks. These are all remnants of a previous U.S. military installation and satellite tracking station. The island's lighthouse was originally constructed in 1863 by the Imperial Lighthouse Service.

Great Stirrup Cay is adjacent to Little Stirrup Cay, Royal Caribbean Cruises' private island.

Yulia was a dream to work with!

Yulia was a dream to work with! She was patient and efficient when dealing with planning our multi family trip to punta cana and not only was she able to check off all our must haves but she exceeded them! Even went as far as to check us in for our return flight when I was having technical difficulties so we didn’t have to wait in line at the airport! She made our trip amazing!!
